Passing a report name as an argument to a function

[Southerndiva]

I have written a generic function which is being called from many reports. It concatenates the values of certain fields depending on the value of check boxes. i have created an unbound textbox on the report and its control source = fldvalu()

the first line of the function goes like this

function fldvalu() as string
if reports!rptname!chkfld = -1 then
fldvalu = "some thing;"
endif
if reports!rptname!chkfld2 = -1 then
fldvalu = fldvalu &"something2;"
endif

you get my drift. note that i have hard coded the report name. i need not to hard code the report name, so that the function can be called from any report.

should be simple. but where and how do i do it?

thanks in advance.

function fldvalu(rptname as string) as string
if reports(rptname)!chkfld= -1 then
fldvalu = "some thing;"
endif
if reports(rptname)!chkfld2 = -1 then
fldvalu = fldvalu &"something2;"
end if

call function
fldvalu("reportname&quot is how you would pass it in a function

but I belive all you need is me!chkfld

function fldvalu() as string
if me!chkfld = -1 then
fldvalu = "some thing;"
endif
if me!chkfld2 = -1 then
fldvalu = fldvalu &"something2;"
end if

To be honest not real sure what you are trying to do but hopefully my post gives you an idea
good luck
